Dozens of protesters in Seattle and Portland are convinced that law enforcement officers exposing them to tear gas led to them having abnormal menstrual cycles.

Protesters in Portland and Seattle have reported unusual menstrual cycles after being exposed to tear gas used by law enforcement at Black Lives Matter demonstrations.

A July report from Oregon Public Broadcasting cited 26 protesters who say that their abnormal cycles, including getting periods multiple times in a month, are the result of being exposed to tear gas in Portland over the last two months. Seattle's KUOW published a report Friday which recently interviewed 12 others with similar experiences linked to the Seattle Police Department's use of tear gas at protests.

Tear gas fills the air as police clash with protesters during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Seattle, Washington on June 8, 2020."The reason why there is no data about this is that these chemicals started out as agents of war and were studied — if at all — in a male population," Seattle gynecologist Dr. Emily Norland told KUOW."In medicine, we look to studies in order to understand the causal relationship of an exposure to an effect.

Are we sure they weren't recording the menstrual cycles of the guys who have a period now? I mean its Seattle and Portland. All that is required is changing your pronouns.

Do they ever will be capable to learn very simple words, such as 'Stay at Home' or 'Do Not Riot', or 'Law and Order'? Or they are suffering from severe mental disabilities? Criminals deserve what they asking for.

it is more likely the violent rioters caused this alleged issue
